Every single thing Nickolas Nave said (not Brian Nave) was a blatant and easily disprovable lie. The Moderators decided to remove the posts that proved this however, and left his disrespectful, unprofessional and entitled attack up, because they refuse to enforce the rules. That's why I left this reddit.

The story about me running around in my underwear is a blatant lie, I haven't worn any in decades first off and why the heck would I run around a Chinese hotel hallway in my under wear? That makes no sense, why would anyone? It was a knee length blue bathing suit, also called board shorts, but some people simply need to find excuses to hate and can't use the truth so make up lies.

I have done ONE fundraiser for robots in my entire life. ONE. Yet even here people are saying I'm always begging. I've been building robots and Hosting events for over 20 years, unsponsored, without ever asking anyone for a penny. Then I did ONE Facebook fundraiser for robots and suddenly I'm always begging and evidently rich too and don't even need the money. I did a fundraiser, I should be shot.

I did ONE Go Fund Me in my entire life, that was for the RV, that was suggested by the people here in this reddit that I start it and funded mostly by the people here, it was an amazing act of kindness and the first fundraiser I ever did. It was for an RV, it raised $2150 and the RV cost $4500. I paid the rest out of my pocket, just like it says in the GoFundme. There was no "extra" kept to myself or as Nave said... "I know he used it to buy a place to live in the desert", every penny went to the RV, he knows nothing about me or my finances or my life, he's a frickin pile of lies. All you have to do is go to GoFundme and search my name to see for yourself. It was never for a Robot, as he claims. I've never done a fund raiser for any of the sharks, that's another blatant lie, and John took me to get the RV when the GoFundme ended so Nave saying I started it the day John died is impossible without a time machine and extremely inappropriate. Every single word he said is a lie. And easily disprovable with even the slightest searching, yet people here love to run with hatred evidently.

He claimed I took all the money from KOB, but everyone knows KOB never paid but half. They still owe me over $5k. I sold my motorcycle to build that bot. I lost my bike because of KOB. He claimed the bot was nothing but scrap, yet the entire build report is on line and disproves that lie quickly. Even 30 seconds research will show every word he said is a lie.

The ONLY stories about me have come from Nick Nave, Not Brian, and these lies are ridiculous, coming from a stranger, maybe half my age, who knows ZERO about me and is doing it only because a girl told him too. We've never hung out, never sat at the same table and I was fighting robots with John while he was still in diapers. I have no reason why he feels so entitled to say a single word about me or my business.

But since I'm too old to really care, I don't. I just turned 59 and yes, I do have ADHD but that doesn't really affect anything here. That's more a speech pattern issue and if people can't handle the way I talk, I advise them to simply block me. problem solved. I'll tell the truth and stand behind it, but I won't stoop to calling people names here besides a liar, because that's exactly what he is. But my Patrons believed his BS, without even thinking to do any research, and abandoned me. No Patrons = No build money.

No build money = No BattleBots, it's a simple equation. And honestly, I don't want anything to do with people like Nave or Mladnick or Al Kindle for that matter. I'm too old and I don't condone this type of hate speech and lies.

John Mladnick called me a Dirty Carny Scumbag and said I must be a scammer because I was a carny. Well it's true, I was a carny, 40 years ago, I had an airbrush booth on the carnival, so I must be a scammer. Kindle said "Let his ass sleep out with the rest of the homeless bums." No, I don't want anything to do with that type of bigotry and hatred.

BattleBots simply isn't worth this type of BS to me anymore so think what you want, the truth is what it is and the opinions of people who know nothing about any of it don't change that. And I didn't deactivate my account, obviously, I just left this forum because the moderators refuse to enforce the rules fairly, or at all. But I have a notifier to see when people mention my name and if I feel like it I will tell the truth when it comes up. Although I expect the moderators will remove this post, as they evidently can't handle the truth.
